Disappointed with the Deam Metal result, so many great choises and the crap that is Kill wins.
A good effort though, I liked to vote for this myself. |

| Great sucess for Angtoria with 3 wins . I have found this band awesome. Also , after a year without any activity , nightwish have win in best dvd , and it was a well dvd from them ( if there where no much attention to that crying girls would be the best ever ) |

| Alright, best black metal album; Satyricon?! Thrash; Christ Illusion, Please don't get me wrong, I am a devout Slayer fan, but I just can't help but admit that this wasn't their best album. There were a few good tracks, but still. Same goes for Maiden. I live and love them, but I wasn't all too impressed with AMOLAD. Well, Cannibal Corpse have done it again, but I'm afraid I have something to say about this too. Although they had continued their bone crushing blood curdling decapitating legacy, KILL was definatey not a Tomb of the Mutilated. As for Tool, 10,000 days is lower on the podium when compared to Lateralus. Alright, enough of me bitching. Obvioulsey those who won, won for a reason, so good on you. We'll see how it goes for 2007! HORNS UP |

well,bands didnt compete against their early albums so their new albums can win against other bands albums.i can understand that.but i cant help but feel that agalloch is underrated..they are always no1 in my heart  and i would prefer cult of luna over isis.in bm enslaved could be no1 bu im ok with satyricon.and in dm..they are all no1  |
|
|
|
| Too much ignorance... the voters voted for all the famous bands and the write in votes didn't have much chances... |
|
|
|
quite a shame that no write-in votes came into dm top ten. there was Anata, Trepalium, Spawn of Possession and such...each one of them better than average Kill.
hmm but whatever im not the majority so what.
one the other hand im glad that uneXpect broke into it on 5th place (better than nothing  in avantgarde, they definitely deserve it. |

| Yeah kinda makes me think, how many "really famous band" did I vote..? Hm, well hopefully I'll be smarter in the 2007 awards. |
|
|
|
yeah the Korpiklaani and Blind Guardian album were damn good 
but for Power Metal i would have voted for The new HammerFall (too bad I didn't) |

I agree, I didnt vote in the pools I lacked knowledge in... But looks like everyone voted in everything and took the first best band they know.
(The only way Satyricon could have won the BM vote lol ^^) |

I totally agree !!! |

I don't think I voted for this but I doubt my vote would have matterd. I'm not suprirsed the most popular bands won. That's obvious. I do heinously disagree with most of those chouces. Props go to Angtoria and DSM. They deserved it.
Also, why is it doom metal gets seperated into doom and extreme doom yet folk metal has to share with Viking metal? I consider folk and viking two completely different genres (and I don't think pagan metal exists, except when describing lyrical themes like Tolkien metal). Why not do power metal and extreme power metal?
Oh well, one can never please everybody. |
|
|
|
| I voted only in some sections and the only one vote that won is Amon Amarth. It was quite obvious that it had to win. |
|
|
|
| Even though Cannibal Corpse won, I'm very annoyed that Zyklon had more votes than Suffocation. |
|
|
|
| totally disappointed with the power metal category. Blind Guardian's album was atrocious |
|

Very good staff¡¡¡¡
Tnahks for respect the fans vote. I am just Disappointed with Nightwish as a winner of best DVD award....I think we loose the chance to make Therion more special to the fans. Nighwtish is good (and nothing on this days) but comparated with therion? (please). Celebrators of Becoming are good in art, in content, in the live show and Christopher coments....want more?. Oh yes...Celebrators of Becoming tells every detail about the history and origin of one of the most important and famous ACTIVE METAL BAND.
Thank to staff...good job¡¡¡¡¡ |

| Cannibal Corpse won the DM awards! that's a surprise to me, although its an excellent album. I was hoping that deicide would win. |
|
|

I'm a bit surprised with some of the results. Now it's not that I wasn't expecting the "bigger" bands to win it (Cannibal Corpse, Iron Maiden, Slayer etc), although it's a bit of an upset for me that they won by such a large number of votes. Personally, I agree with the staff on the "Power Metal" section that Pyramaze's Legend Of The Bone Carver definitely deserved to be ranked somewhere in the top three. I myself did not vote on all the genres though. I only voted in the sections where I had heard all (or close to all) the albums that were nominated.
I did agree with a few of the wins however. Amon Amarth deserved it in my opinion. I really liked their new album. Satyricon's Now, Diabolical wasn't a bad album. It was quite decent in fact, however, I don't think it was the best black metal album of the year, especially when comparing it to some of those other bands that were nominated. |

Hehe as usual, nothing i voted for wins.
The biggest surprise is Angtoria winning so many awards? Its just an ordianry Gothic Metal album with no originality, i mean its alright, im not saying its bad, but compared to other things. In the Atmospheric / Symphonic part, i still feel Edenbridges was the best pic, it was the one list i had heard of most of the bands releases for this year. (I still really need to heard Lunaticas though).
I still think BG has the biggest letdown, it doesnt mean worst album, but by expectations. Everyone expected BG to really another amazing album, and although not terrible, it was a big let down with all the filler in it.
Rhapsody was runner up for letdown, yet their album was TERRIBLE, but my expectations were something higher, i thought they would change sound after becoming so repetitive, but no.
Communic came close in Prog. As they did last year in 'best debut', which is good. |

|
| I accept the voting, though really surprise that Agalloch, Deicide didnt won:( |

|
| I must admit, I was surprised to see Agalloch in the gothic metal category and Katatonia's new album in the doom metal category. I don't think that did either category any favours (I'd really have liked to have seen Saturnus win the doom metal category - Veronika Decides to Die was a perfect doom metal album). |
|
|
|
I actually agree with these awards.
CoF as biggest letdown, hell yeah! besides, it's Cof, can't expect much
Blind Guardian, best power metal, yeah, it's not their best album, but it's still good.
Slayer for thrash metal, ooohhh yeaahhh!! Slayer continues to rule!
Melodeath for Amon Amarth, quite right. Another band that's kept their excellent sound through their career.
One thing I don't agree much is the one for BM, one reason could be me not liking Satyricon that much, but the other reason is that the album Emissaries from Melechesh is one hell of an album!!
Anyway, that's just my opinion... |
|
|
|
| best bm : satyricon. lmao. |
|
|
|
Man, I really wanted Melechesh to win the BM part, I really dont see anything grounbreaking for Satyricon or inspiring. Maybe popular, and thats really it....
Guesss we cant get everything  |

Why not do power metal and extreme power metal?
Simple. We had too few folk, viking and pagan metal entries to put them into two separate categories, so since those were the closest to each other we merged them. On the other hand we had too many doom metal releases, so we had to split that category into two. Originally the same was planned for black metal, but was dropped later on. And to be exact the Melodeath/Gothenburg Metal category was supposed to be called Melodeath/Gothenburg/Extreme Power Metal, but as the name was too long for the menu or something, it got truncated. But that basically was the reason why Norther was to be found in that category while they are neither melodeath nor Gothenburg metal.

If you read the staff conclusion in that category, you'll see that you are not alone with your opinion |

|
| It's funny how a non-doom album won the doom award. |
|
|
|
| Bleh... those results are the ones people choosed, so be it...I'll keep on hearing my favorites though |

That's kinda fucked, considering proper melodeath and extreme power don't have the same style basis, or even the same audience. I'm also really not impressed with what was done to Napalm Death, how can one category be subjective but not the others?
Dark Corny, me too, I guess we're too kvlt for everyone else. *drinks blood of an onlooker without warning* |

I'm a bit surprised about the victory of Satyricon in the Black Metal category...
I think that album is far away from the excellence, especially compared with the Keep Of Kalessin "Armada" (masterpiece), the great Negura Bunget "OM" and the Enslaved "Ruun" (though it isn't their best album surely too). I think that a lot of people voted just for the famous one, not for the best one, it's also true that not all people know the less famous albums, so I can understand them anyway... |
|
|
|
I'm extremely dissapointed with this year's awards; only Moonspell and Amon Amarth came to the right place where able. Rubbish.   |

Must say we are very pleased with the results and would like to thank everyone who voted for us on behalf of the band.

| I think they made a mistake, Iron Maiden won for best heavy metal album of the year....how is that possible? Motorhead shouldve won....them or Chrome Division. and Belphegor or Keep Of Kalessin shouldve won for black metal, oh well, cant win em all I guess, at least Amon Amarth won for melodeath and not In Flames phew! |

Melodeath/Gothenburg
- Good one Amon Amarth realy was best in that year
totaly agree, it's a fucking great band. I have seen them at the Furyfest 2005 (now named Hellfest) they kick ass.
And this album With Oden On Our Side  a masterpice of metal, a really goldsmith's job.
I'm happy to see Blind Guardian win in Power Metal.
I'm suprise Keep Of Kalessin and Melechesh didn't have no more vote. They have made very great albums  |
|
|
|
| well id choose Melechesh if i heard other albums too. i have yet to get them. working on Belphergor, Keep of Kalessin and Enslaved. |

| OK. As far as symphonic metal, I don't get why people have chosen Angtoria; I think Delain's and Madder Mortem's works were much better. So I actually agree with the staff opinion. Heavy Metal... definitely not Iron Maiden, and most positively Benedictum. Man, those guys do play some great Heavy. They are one the best debutants. Power... Blind Guardian's and Rhapsody's albums are of decent quality, but nothing special. What I liked was Pyramize's Legend of the Bone Carver. Progressive... To-Mera's debut has really impressed me. I think Adagio's masterpiece Dominate has been underrated. I just don't get it - I love that album so much and it got only 67 votes. No doubt that the biggest surprise, shock, revelation, epiphany and what not were Diablo Swing Orchestra. They are the innovators of metal. I have never heard anything like their music. It's indescribable. |
